Definitely new Rumpole next week!

BBC Radio 4 has updated the Afternoon Drama site through next Thursday and the Rumpole episodes for Thursday and Friday that I mentioned before but wasn't 100% sure that they'd be new are definitely new! Hooray!! They don't have the info. up for the second one yet, but from the first one, it is also definite that they've dropped the framing with Timothy West as elder Rumpole. I'm disappointed as I rather enjoyed that, but it also means they've put up a new image to go with these, featuring Cumberbatch rather than the old cartoon drawing of an older Rumpole, and I rather like it :)

Edit II: Radio Times now has a very brief article about the episodes. Nothing much there that isn't at the Afternoon Drama episode descriptions, but there is a mention that they hope to bring Timothy West back in future episodes (which also just means that they are planning to do more and that makes me happy) and a pic of Cumberbatch recording.
